Labels: It Could Be Worse

Sharing the journey that has taken me from being a single girl in the advertising agency world to a married mommy running my own freelance writing and consulting business (and every random adventure in between).
THINGS I LOVE: Thunderstorms, power ballads, princess camping, exploring new cities, Jon Stewart, greatest hits CDs, clever ads, packing for a trip, George Clooney, impractical footwear, movies about spies, Starbucks, reading an entire book in one sitting, a house full of friends, movies about spies, buying presents, a perfect French manicure, warm modernist architecture, getting flowers for no reason, being faux brunette, Mary Poppins, making lists on Post-It notes, decorating for Christmas, having a brilliant middle-of-the-night 'aha!' idea and then actually remembering it in the morning / THINGS I HATE: People who whine, wearing sweats in public, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, birds, American tourists in foreign countries, taking down the Christmas tree, poems that rhyme, the misuse of semicolons, being lied to, unpacking after a trip, being closed-minded, naming your kid something common but then spelling it stupidly, cowboys, overly cautious drivers, fake curse words, ridiculously long surnames, strangers who start awkward conversations with you in places you can't readily escape

I can relate.
My first-ever pedicure resulted in me warning the girl that the stone she was using was too coarse for my very ticklish feet. She laughed and said she hears that all the time, and resumed.
I kicked her in the shoulder, hard (thanks to involuntary jerk motion). She didn't say anything, walked away, and another came to finish my pedicure, with a less-abrasive stone.
:(
Oh my gosh, I'm EXACTLY the same way. To the point I usually clip and file my own toe nails, just because that is the worst part for me. But then I wonder why I even go for the pedicure at all. lol
For whatever it's worth, I'm sure your toes look fabulous! :-)
Just to clarify, this story was *not* mine. Nothing makes me happier or more relaxed than a pedicure... I feel sorry for people who can't do it. I'm sad for you ladies! (And totally laughing at your expense, Amber. Sorry.)
